Adobe MAX: 132 Hours of New Courses and Sessions Online – Free!

Did you make it to MAX this year? Adobe’s Creativity Conference once again broke records with 14,000 attendees coming together in Los Angeles last week, a full doubling from 7,000 only 3 years ago… In fact, it was the largest gathering of talented creative professionals that there has ever been in one room, anytime in history!

Those who were there enjoyed major new product launches, inspirational key­notes from creative luminaries, hundreds of enriching training sessions, countless opportunities for networking with colleagues, access to the latest cool technology on the Pavilion floor, meeting the Adobe product teams in person, and the always-mind-blowing “Sneak Peek” demos of amazing new features under development.

But if you didn’t make it, no worries – believe it or not, you can still tap into many of the best resources from the comfort of your own laptop, tablet, or phone!

The great news is that some of the courses were recorded on video and are now offered online – for free… In other words, pick your favorite Adobe tools and you can learn the latest tips, tricks and techniques from the best instructors in the field right from your desktop.

In addition to the Keynotes, there are five major tracks below (Creative Careers … Graphic, Web & UX Design … Illustration & Creative Imaging … Photography … and Video) covering numerous different topics, with significant overlap between categories. The classes average about one hour long, and the complete collection of 123 videos runs to about 132 hours of training all together.

So if you couldn’t make it to California this year, or didn’t have the $1,595 entrance fee, didn’t win our MAX ticket giveaway, or weren’t able to catch everything you wanted there, then here are all the best new training and tutorials direct from the show, now free to watch… Totaling 132 hours in duration, that’s over 16 eight-hour days worth of content (for real) with unlimited access – exciting enough to keep you busy for a while!

The entire directory to all 123 recorded sessions is given below. Next year, MAX will be returning to Los Angeles, California, on November 4–6, 2019 – and already you can save $500 by preregis­tering here (with no financial obligation or commitment).
